FAQ

Passport photo questions, Oswego edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Oswego?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from the comfort of your Oswego home using a smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have a plain white background, good lighting, and a friend or family member to take the picture instead of snapping a selfie. Services like Perfect Passport can then verify it meets all federal guidelines.

What size and format does a U.S. passport photo need to be?

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2 by 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, the U.S. State Department strictly prohibits wearing glasses in your passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Illinois. Hats and head coverings are also not allowed unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's note for medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic federal requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants regarding closed eyes or looking directly at the camera. If you are photographing a baby at home in Oswego, laying them on a plain white sheet or draping a car seat with a white cloth works best. Just make sure no other people or hands are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new, updated photo every time you apply for or renew your U.S. passport. The State Department requires the picture to be taken within the last six months to accurately reflect your current appearance.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks for an additional federal fee. Mailing times from Illinois to the processing center can add a few extra weeks to the total turnaround time, so it is best to apply well before your trip.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Oswego?

The closest regional facility is the Chicago Passport Agency, located about 45 miles east of Oswego in downtown Chicago. You cannot simply walk in; you must schedule an appointment by phone, and they only accept applicants with urgent international travel within 14 days or a life-or-death emergency.
